How can I load two Eclipse projects with conflicting names in two different working sets?


I have two Eclipse working sets (WorkingSet 0.1.x and WorkingSet 0.2.x). I need to do work on them interchangeably, though neither interacts with the other. The problem is that some of the projects obviously have the same name (MyProject, MyModule). Even if I close all of the projects in WorkingSet 0.1.x, I can't even add the 0.2.x version of that project to WorkingSet 0.2.x because there is already an instance of it in the workspace. Aside from renaming my projects or deleting everything out of the workspace each time I need to switch to a different branch, how can I use working sets to keep these independent? Or do I need two separate workspaces, which seems like overkill?


Solution

  • If you cannot rename the project - the only option you have is to use different workspaces, which is not a terrible idea, since you mentioned that projects don't interact with each other.
